... (Issue 41) Summer 2001 Last | Contents | Next Issue 41 Wake Up Down There! The Excluded Middle Collection Ed. Greg Bishop Adventures Unlimited, Kempton, Illinois 60946 $24.99 from Flatland This has an introduction by Kenn Thomas of Steamshovel and shares much of its subject matter with Thomas' magazine. That subject matter being UFOs; what I would call consciousness politics - drugs, mysticism, the paranormal, mind control, remote viewing; secrecy and conspiracy theories; the secret state; and the interfaces between many of these. As a 52-year old who took acid, read Leary, Reich, Lilly, Castaneda et al in the 1970s, to ...

... . The first session occurred shortly after the abduction incident. The most noteworthy thing about it: Myrna speaks of being taken by soldiers, not aliens, after she had seen vaguely-described unusual activity taking place near Kirtland AFB in New Mexico. Davidson confirmed for me that, at the time, everyone talking to Myrna merely presumed that UFOs were involved. This is typical of the conclusion-hopping one encounters in ufology. Davidson didn't even realise, until I pointed the fact out to him, that everything in the first hypnosis session had an earth-bound explanation. The second hypnosis session occurred about five months later. That session does include all sorts of loopy and ...

... my main interest is in the interface between the political and the intelligence worlds; between secret and authoritarian; between open and democratic. But really I'm just interested in the nature of political and historical reality. I've read Professor Freedman's excellent book on the U.S . intelligence estimating process; (2 ) but I also read books about UFOs. Both are part of political reality as I see it. Indeed both overlap: the CIA is certainly interested in UFOs. A loose alliance of intelligence officers in America, led by a CIA officer named Ron Pandolphi, has spent the last 20 years running disinformation at the American UFO buffs. If you have watched the X Files ...

... Thomas, Constantine, Martin - and a lot of names unfamiliar to me. Material ranges from Jack Kerouac to mind control and the quality ranges from the poor (though there isn't much of that) to the seriously good. To give a flavour of all this, the first few pieces in volume 1 are: editor Thomas defending a UFO researcher called Sean Morton; a set of comments on the 'fusion paranoia' concept; a review of Bob Black's Anarchy After Leftism; editor Thomas on 'Reich and Little Rock'; a snippet on Cord Meyer, Mary Meyer, James Angleton et al; and a long extract from Charles Ameringer's U.S .Foreign Intelligence: the ...

... (c ) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 40) Winter 2000/1 Last | Contents | Next Issue 40 Disinformation: From Euros to UFOs A secret service?In the Guardian of 12 June 2000 David Leigh had an important piece on the relationship between our secret servants and the media. At the core of this was his account of the revelation, via a libel suit in London, of an MI6 operation to plant disinformation in the Sunday Telegraph about the son of Colonel Gaddafi. (1 ) The story was written by Con Coughlin and attributed to a 'British banking official'. As the trial revealed, said official came from MI6 ...

... : Duckworth, 1931). This had a foreword by Colonel Edward House who looms large in the conspiracy theories about the New World Order. Crowley was declared a bankrupt in 1935 and there may have been an idea that Parsons should succeed him in running the OTO. Note, too, that California regularly reports the highest single number of UFO incidents in the world, as well as having (with the US south-west) a high concentration of secret military and research bases. See also the new biography of Krishnamurti, resident guru to many in Hollywood from the 1920s. She was also in Kenneth Anger's inscrutable 'Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome'. Symonds' book was ...

... sub-set of the data? The Lammers solve this problem by simply ignoring it. Their book opens with a quotation from the faintly mysterious and spooky Dr. C. B. Scott Jones. In 1994 Scott Jones had meetings with Dr. John Gibbons, the scientific advisor to President Clinton, at which various bits of evidence about UFOs were presented to Gibbons.(3 ) On 17 February 1994 Scott Jones wrote to Gibbons, .. .I urge you to take another look in the "UFO Matrix of Belief" that I provided you last year. My mention of mind-control technology at the February 4 meeting was quite deliberate. Please be careful about ...

... researching and using radiation, electric shocks, 'harassment devices' - a logical, albeit unprincipled, use of many of the techniques and devices established by Tesla.(13) Other MK-ULTRA projects included the development of electromagnetic weapons that could immobilise vehicles -- a characteristic often described by those who report a 'close encounter' with a UFO. They were tested on 'involuntary human subjects' and 'ethnic minorities' (Native Americans? Hispanics? Black Americans?). Puharich's role in this remains unclear. His work concerned 'shamanic drugs' -- i.e . altered states of consciousness caused by LSD, hallucinogenics, and various types of mushroom found in Mexico. By ...

... countries a criminal offence to subscribe to or propagate such views. Goodrick-Clarke shows how the new generation of ultra-rightists have, as ever, hidden behind an array of diversionary symbols: the Knights Templar, ancient civilisations, ley lines, deluges, Atlantis, the hollow earth (also a favourite pre-1945), Nazi UFOs, alien abductions, and world government theories. (I always expect to see Chariot of the Gods mentioned in accounts of this type, but for some reason von Daniken never quite makes it.) The extent to which these have circulated in recent years and the scale of ultra-right activity in the USA mentioned in this book ...
